Now the emotions are settled, a genuine and objective review of that #RCB win: Salt - batting still looks a like scratchy but his fielding is next level Virat - upped the tempo and looks in good touch DDP - is batting with intent and role clarity Rajat - is showing positive signs Jitesh - well that was an ill thought out shot David - also looks scratchy but good signs Romario - struggled bowling 4 overs, too many short balls but still got wickets Krunal - a real off day for him, wipe it off and start again Bhuvi - class as ever, some clever bowling Abhinandan - looked nervy, pace looks good but the accuracy was not there Duffy - HTD, line and length, immense bowling Suyash - again looked nervy and just not hitting the right lines Overall - the batting looks powerful, attacking and great intent. Bowling, too many players had off days at the same time. Encouraging signs so far but a long way to go I’d play Mangesh in the next game and see if the left arm angle gives us a point of difference.

Bangalore commercial transport providers (auto + cab drivers) are the lowest scum of the earth. This is yet more evidence.
Shriraj Bhardwaj@SBHakunaMatata

Bengaluru Road Rage Reality: This Could Have Ended Much Worse I didn’t think I’d be writing something like this — but here’s the harsh reality of what happened to us on Bengaluru roads. On 25th March 2026, around 8:20 PM, my colleague and I were driving back on Sarjapur Road when we encountered an auto (KA01AN4438) coming straight at us on the wrong side. A negligible touch between vehicles — no damage, nothing serious. But that was enough. What followed was not an argument — it was a chase. The driver of KA01AN4438 started aggressively chasing us, trying to block our car multiple times in moving traffic, hitting the vehicle, and attempting to open the doors. We chose not to engage and instead tried to reach a safe place. Then it escalated further. Another auto (KA01AS8794) joined him. Together, they blocked our path near Sarjapur bridge. One of them picked up a concrete stone — and smashed our windshield while we were still inside. Let that sink in. We somehow managed to reach RGA Tech Park, thinking a gated office space would mean safety. It didn’t. Both drivers followed us inside. Before I could even step out of the car, I was physically assaulted — repeatedly hit in the face, leaving me injured. Only after things calmed down did the main accused (KA01AN4438) flee. When the police arrived, the second driver (KA01AS8794) apologized in front of them. This wasn’t “road rage.” This was unchecked violence. And unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated story anymore. Too many people in Bengaluru have similar experiences but choose to stay silent. Honestly, after this incident, I have made up my mind — I am going to leave Bengaluru and never come back. If this is the state of our roads, then something is seriously broken. Stay alert. Avoid confrontation. And most importantly — don’t assume you’re safe just because you’ve done nothing wrong.

Terrible from #IshanKishan today. Harshal should bowl only after 12th ov. Malinga should open the bowling. Aniket should bat way up. NKR should not be in 11. Less said about his wk the better. Terrible overall from #SRH - Cummins can't return soon enough. #RCBvsSRH #IPL2026

@Gujju_Er LOL that is because Modi raised prices when crude went to 120 during Ukraine war and never brought it down to original level even when crude was @ 55. 3 years of windfalls mein 2 hafte excise cut kar bhi diya fir bhi chori hi hai...

This is 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 right now, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝗿 𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗲. An indian person living there for 1.5 years says 👇 • Diesel price never crossed $1.8 before: now $2.89 • Petrol price was $1.5–2.1 before: now $3.16 • Normal Petrol is out of stock. • Situation worsening as global tensions rise (US–Israel–Iran) This is how fast global conflicts hit common people. But now look at India 🇮🇳 👇 ✔️ No fuel shortages anywhere ✔️ Prices kept stable despite global surge ✔️ Govt reduced excise duty to shield citizens ✔️ Strong supply chain management All thanks Modi Govt, keeping India steady while others struggle. From shortages abroad to stability at home, the contrast is clear.

So Rajasthan Royals had already planned to prioritise Riyan Parag as captain back in 2024 itself. RR owner Ranjit Barthakur, with his Assamese background, clearly wanted to prioritise Guwahati and Parag. It became crystal clear when Parag was scripted to captain the first two games in Guwahati, while Sanju Samson the franchise’s long-time face was reduced to an “Impact Player”. And this wasn’t a transition from an aging captain ,Samson was only 30, still in his prime, still the face of the franchise. Credit to Sanju Samson for staying in a set up like this for so long. Anyone else would have left long back.

Lightning just struck the Burj Khalifa... and the building felt nothing! Here's how the 2,722-foot skyscraper in #Dubai survives a lightning strike without a scratch At the very top sits a lightning rod that senses the storm and pulls the strike toward itself. From there, the tower's steel frame acts as a giant conductor, and electricity flows down the outside of the building through metal conductors, never touching anything inside At the base, a grounding system absorbs all of it and sends the energy harmlessly into the earth. People inside feel nothing. No damage. No marks. No disruption to elevators, lights, or equipment The Burj Khalifa has been struck many times over the years

@TRobinsonNewEra Ruins from 3500 years before 960 AD, with underground sewage and piped water, when your 40 kings and 16 queens were naked hunters running after rabbits. Suck on it.

Westminster Abbey, founded in 960AD, 40 coronations and 16 royal weddings, houses the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. Reduced to flying the flag of a sandpit of inbreds formed in 1948, one of them now London Mayor. Scores gang raping Britain's kids non stop since arriving.

I love how IPL teams hype up their players arrivals, it just hits different. That’s something PSL teams have been missing for years. Said it last year too. With names like Maxwell, Smith, JFM & Zampa coming in, hopefully they get it right this time.

Notice the pattern? At the Coolie audio launch, Rajini spoke about Lokesh Kanagaraj for 20 mins. He mentioned all of his movies but conveniently "forgot" Master and Leo. 🧐 Now a post condemning TVK's Aadhav Arjuna's casual comment that Rajinikanth refrained from entering politics due to a threat from the DMK. Many politicians have taken potshots at Rajini before, and yet he never reacted. But for Aadhav's statement he has strongly reacted and ended with a punch dialogue: 'kaalam badhil sollum'. Dramatic. Rajini has also consolidated support from AIADMK, BJP, VCK, and PMK (it creates a perception 'Everyone vs TVK') He even mentioned about Karur stampede. But for other law and order failures in the state? He was silent. LOOKS FISHY!! 🙄

Luru auto and cab drivers are the absolute scum of humanity.

NEW SCAM BY OLA DRIVERS IN BANGALORE Extremely disturbing experience with an Ola ride today from Majestic to Jalahalli, Bengaluru. The ride initially showed a fare of ₹285 in the Ola app. However, after reaching my destination, the driver showed a bill of ₹5950 on his phone and demanded that I pay the full amount. He claimed that I had cancelled some old rides and that the amount would be deducted from his account if I did not pay. When I tried to explain that my app clearly showed ₹285, the driver started becoming aggressive and repeatedly insisted that I must pay ₹5950. Since he was speaking mostly in Kannada and I am not fluent in the language, the situation quickly became stressful and difficult to manage. I then contacted Ola’s emergency support through the app expecting immediate help. Unfortunately, the response from the support representative was extremely disappointing and dismissive. Instead of trying to understand the situation or deescalate it, she repeatedly questioned whether it was a “safety issue”. When I explained that please consider it as unsafe and that I felt unsafe, the representative responded in a rude and dismissive manner and abruptly disconnected the call stating that it was “not an emergency”. At that moment I was left alone to deal with an increasingly tense situation with the driver. Fortunately, my house owner arrived at the scene, understood the situation, and advised the driver that we should go to the police station to resolve the matter. I followed him on his bike while the driver followed us in the cab. However, midway the driver suddenly rerouted and fled the area. This entire experience was extremely stressful and raises serious concerns about: • Fare transparency on the platform • Driver conduct • The attitude and responsiveness of Ola’s emergency support team An emergency line that dismisses passengers during a tense situation defeats the very purpose of having a safety feature. @Olacabs @bhash @BlrCityPolice Can you please help with this situation. I can share all the details.
